Peppermint Oil

Peppermint oil, also known as mentha piperita oil or simply peppermint, is a natural ingredient derived from the leaves and flowers of the peppermint plant (Mentha x piperita). Peppermint oil, in cosmetics, has been found to help cleanse, cool, and refresh the skin.

 

Studies show that peppermint oil is rich in menthol, a monoterpene alcohol with analgesic, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory properties. According to a 2019 review, peppermint oil can help improve skin conditions such as acne, dermatitis, pruritus, and urticaria, and it can also reduce pain, itching, and inflammation.

 

Peppermint oil cleanses the skin, as it can help remove dirt, oil, and makeup from the pores. It can also balance the skin’s sebum production and pH level, which may help prevent acne and breakouts.

 

Peppermint oil has a cooling effect on the skin, as it can help stimulate the cold receptors in the skin and produce a sensation of freshness. It can also help soothe irritated and inflamed skin conditions such as sunburns, insect bites, and rashes.

 

Peppermint oil has a refreshing effect on the skin, as it can help invigorate the mood and energize the senses. It has a pleasant minty aroma that can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression and improve cognitive function and memory.

 

Peppermint oil is a potent and concentrated oil that should be diluted with a carrier oil before applying it to the skin. It is a gentle and safe ingredient that can suit most skin types and be combined with other skincare ingredients.
